Description
Florine Stettheimer: A Painter's Poetry and Satire. This beautifully illustrated volume presents a fresh look at the art of Florine Stettheimer, a multifaceted personality who embodied the spirit of early 20th-century New York. With her sharp wit and satirical eye, Stettheimer was a painter, poet, theater designer, and salon hostess, collaborating with influential artists like Gertrude Stein and Marcel Duchamp. The book features 150 color images, including paintings, drawings, and ephemera, as well as essays that reassess Stettheimer's work and its connections to American modernism and the New York bohemian scene. This collection offers a new understanding of Stettheimer's art, revealing her as an astute documenter of her social milieu and a pioneer of a feminist aesthetic. Through this publication, Stettheimer's poetry and artistic practice are given a long-overdue critical reassessment, highlighting her enduring influence on contemporary art practices.
